Government's Perennial Enemy

"That's why we ultimately outlawed real money in favor of political paper, so government could be unrestrained financially in dealing with any problem anywhere. Funding government through taxation is never enough because the victims might retaliate. What's needed is what we have: the arcane subterfuge of a cloistered cartel. What's needed is a central bank quietly mulcting the masses while it feeds the world's power-holders. That way nobody revolts." Column by George F. Smith.
